I almost didn't open this thread because I was afraid there was going to be some awful scandal requiring me to go without joe joes from now on! Instead, I'm just planning another trip

They are basically thin mints on steroids.

I wanted ALL of it- eggnog almonds, chocolate covered Joe-O's, waffle cone chocolate mint cookies, chocolate and brandy truffle filled figs, pannettone, fleur de sel caramels. WHY do they put out so many amazing holiday goodies? I walked out with a box of Candy Cane Joe-Joe's that I have already inflicted serious damage upon. No more Trader Joe's until after Christmas.


Has anyone tried those waffle cookies? Any good?

I pounded a whole container of the chocolate covered almonds last week. Divine.

They only had 3 boxes at the TJs in Gaithersburg left last week when I went. I'm hoping they restock!

To be exact, they're called Dark Chocolate Covered Peppermint Joe Joe's (in case PPs are looking for them).

A Candy Cane Joe-Joe (so basically, an Oreo with pepperminty filling, including candy cane fragments), dipped in dark chocolate, topped with more candy cane fragments.

There are also boxes with a variety of other dipped JoeJoe's - haven't investigated those yet...

I opened this thread because DH and I devoured an ENTIRE package tonight. Yes, an entire package. And, nope, I'm not sorry. They are SO GOOD.
